The TUI wizard

When you run devopsgen init in a real terminal without a flags-only invocation, a keyboard-driven wizard takes over — Enter accepts the recommended default at every step.

How the interview flows

Stack — go or nodejs, pre-selected by the detector.
Application type (Node.js only) — express, nextjs, vite, nestjs or generic.
Commands — optional build / test / start commands; Enter keeps the defaults harvested from the project files.
Port — the application port, 1–65535, validated on the spot.
Registry — Docker Hub or GHCR (same as the --registry flag).
Container image — namespace/repository, no host, no tag.
Kubernetes — whether to emit manifests, plus an optional host-based Ingress (RFC 1123 hostname).
Summary & confirm — review every chosen value, confirm, and the files are written to the project root.

A wizard run is fully replayable: the same answers as equivalent flags. To automate the same result, pass the flags headless (init reference).

Keyboard

Key	Action
`Enter`	Confirm current selection / printed default
`↑` `↓`	Move within list choices
typed text	Fill textual answers (port, image, host)
`Ctrl+C`	Abort the wizard without writing anything

Safety during the run

Everything until the final confirmation is bound to memory only — aborting leaves the project untouched. The write itself follows the same rules as headless mode: never-overwrite-unless---force, backups, and rollback on mid-run failure.
